Video Premiere: Tele Novella – “Coat-tail Rider”

What a bunch of cards

Austin, Texas, that bottomless pit of odd rock, offers us yet another kook-group, Tele Novella. Featuring former members of Agent Ribbons and Voxtrot, their sound isn’t too crazed. The tune here is a dippy twist of a latterday ‘60s James Bond theme lamenting an ex-heartthrob, while back-up harmonies lollygag around. But the video, that we’re premiering today, is a surrealist’s idea of a basement party with some jittery mimes who end up signing out the song. The band will be releasing a torrent of 7-inches over the next few months, this being one of them. And they’ve got a tour starting tomorrow in Austin. Check out the video and tour dates below.
